BEGINNING OF THE TEACHING
made by the Agency of the Dual King Sehetepibra
Son of Ra Amenemhat true of voice,
Declaring in a revelation of truth
to his son the Lord of All,
Saying, Rise as God
Listen to what I tell you
That you may be king of earth
That you may rule the river-banks
And achieve in excess of perfection
[here a day-mark in Papyrus Millingen 'year 5 month 4 of peret day 4']

The titles and names of the king are those most often used in the Middle Kingdom.
Over the course of the third millennium BC, there developed a fivefold
titulary whereby each king took before his birth name four other names,
all five being preceded by a special title - Horus, he of the Two Goddesses
(Two Ladies), Horus of Gold, Dual King, and, before the birth-name, Son of Ra.

On the concept of solar kingship,
whereby the king is consubstantial son of the sun-god Ra, see Berlev
1981

Revelation of truth
This has been taken to denote appearance in a dream. The word 'truth' (maat)
is the same as that for 'order', meaning in essence 'that which is straight
(normative)'.

Lord of All
Literally 'Lord to the Limit', implying sovereign power over all creation to
the boundary between created matter and the anti-matter beyond.

Rule riverbanks
In the context of the Nile, the national territory could be expressed as the
two riverbanks of the river in Upper Egypt, or the multiple river banks of all
the Nile branches in Upper, Middle and Lower Egypt.
